Different patterns of agonist-stimulated increases of 3H-inositol phosphate isomers and cytosolic Ca2+ in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells: comparison of the effects of histamine and angiotensin II.
Bovine adrenal chromaffin cells (BCC) were used to compare histamine- and angiotensin II-induced changes of inositol mono-, bis-, and trisphosphate (InsP1, InsP2, and InsP3, respectively) isomers, intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), and the pathways of inositol phosphate metabolism. Both agonists elevated [Ca2+]i by 200 nM 3-4 s after addition, but afterwards the histamine response was much more prolonged. Histamine and angiotensin II also produced similar four- to fivefold increases of Ins(1,4,5)P3 that peaked within 5 s. Over the first minute of stimulation, however, Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation was monophasic after angiotensin II, but biphasic after histamine, evidence supporting differential regulation of angiotensin II- and histamine-stimulated signal transduction. The metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 by BCC homogenates was found to proceed via (a) sequential dephosphorylation to Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(4)P, and (b) phosphorylation to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, followed by dephosphorylation to Ins(1,3,4)P3, Ins(1,3)P2, and Ins(3,4)P2, and finally to Ins(1 or 3)P. In whole cells, Ins(1 or 3)P only increased after histamine treatment. Additionally, Ins(1,3)P2 was the only other InsP2 besides Ins(1,4)P2 to accumulate within 1 min of agonist treatment [Ins(3,4)P2 did not increase]. These results support a correlation between the time course of Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation and the time course of [Ca2+]i transients and illustrate that Ca2(+)-mobilizing agonists can produce distinguishable patterns of inositol phosphate formation and [Ca2+]i changes in BCC. Different patterns of second-messenger formation are likely to be important in signal recognition and may encode agonist-specific information.
